Ubuntu Package File Placement

[sandstrom]

I didn't find a proper repo for the fluent-bit ubuntu package (td-agent-bit), so posting here.

Packages (debian and ubuntu atleast, but probably other distros too), should not install stuff in /opt.

Instead /usr/share, /usr/lib, /usr/bin etc should be used. It would be great if the td-agent and td-agent-bit packages would adhere to this principle.

dpkg-query -L td-agent-bit will list the current install locations. Can also be used to understand where other packages are storing their files.

If someone want's to work on that change we are open to merge it (get a PR). For now I am closing this ticket since is not an issue associated to documentation.

@edsiper Can I reopen it somewhere else? There is also a "transfer issue" button you can use, to move this to a more appropriate place.

[edsiper]

it's opened again but I don't see that button.

Below is a screenshot. Maybe it's not rolled out everywhere yet (labeled as beta).

If you want I can reopen this in a new repo, what repo is a better fit for this?

[edsiper]

you should open a PR on fluent/fluent-bit.

[edsiper]

closing for now, please open a new one on fluent/fluent-bit.
